Commenting on "Can we finally declare 3D a dud?"

People suffering from colour blindness can only see shades of grey, not distinct colours. That does not mean TV programs or movies should stay in Black-and-white. Unless for nostalgic reason, many people will choose colour over black-and-white shows on TV or in cinema.
Certain technological introductions spread like wild fire, but others can only be classified as fad. No matter how big the 3D TV screen is, it can never be compared with that of a cinema. The visual sensation is different, and most importantly, the audio effect that adds the the excitement is absent in a home environment, even in a home theatre.
No doubt, the cost of 3D TV and accessories play a part in current economic situation. These are considered more at the luxury spectrum end, and throwing away existing very good conditioned TV sets dotted around a house can be heartbreaking.
Introduction of 3D programs is like an add-on, unlike that of colour in the 70's. When colour transmission was brought in, almost all the programs were in colours. This is not not so for 3D channels.
Use of 3D glasses may be inconvenient, but future Google glasses will prove otherwise. It is just a groundless psychological excuse.
